National Progressive Party of Finland

The National Progressive Party was a liberal political party in Finland that was active from 1918 to 1951. The party was founded after the Finnish Civil War by the republican majority of the Young Finnish Party and the republican minority of the Finnish Party; the monarchist elements of both parties formed the National Coalition Party. Kaarlo Juho Stahlberg and Risto Ryti, both party members, would become Presidents of Finland. In 1951, the party dissolved, and most of its members joined the People's Party of Finland.
